Casey Spooner is running for President of the United States of America. This is not a joke. For better and for worse, we find ourselves in the midst of a new paradigm in which politics and entertainment have merged to become one thing. In this new world, Casey Spooner is the leader we need. — Spooner2020.com

Artist Casey Spooner is running for president. “Much of my work is about systems and personas. Government is the next system I plan to explore – particularly the conflict between capitalism and democracy. The point for me isn’t winning. It’s about understanding and growing. It’s about shifting the narrative. It’s about demystifying the system for others.”

In big sizes, the vertical cuts on diagonal strokes (R, A, V, W, S in the campaign slogan) add a striking effect. Navigo Regular is used for the website menu and footer. The condensed Alternate Gothic is used in all caps for additional headlines and some buttons, and Libre Franklin is used mostly for body copy.

Halyard Display is used for the logo of Andrew Yang’s 2020 presidential campaign.

Designer Hannah White selected the Bold Italic style as the base for the wordmark, to which she drew her own Y in the tradition of changing the first letter in a logo for a political campaign. The numerals were scaled down some 85 percent to make them equals with the candidate’s name. All members of the Halyard family use double-storey forms for the letters a and g as the default forms, in the roman as well as the italic styles (with the single-storey forms available as OpenType alternates). The logo features the default forms. On campaign materials like buttons and bumper stickers, Halyard Display is paired with Freight Sans, another typeface designed by Joshua Darden, and a few other typefaces such as Adelle, Montserrat and Avenir Next.

An “outsider” candidate, Andrew Yang was the first person to declare their intent to seek the 2020 Democratic Presidential nomination, with the stated purpose of advocating for a single issue. As of March 2019 he is being praised by Fivethirtyeight on their podcast for outperforming expectations and earning attention for the campaign goal to implement his signature project, the Freedom Dividend (a version of Universal Basic Income) for every American adult. If nominated, Yang would become the first Asian American to serve as any major party’s presidential candidate.

Dapifer and Conductor are the typefaces used by Cory Booker’s 2020 presidential campaign.

On the website, Darden Studio’s Dapifer appears for the mission statement, header paragraphs, and all body copy. Fun fact: Dapifer was originally designed for a hotel in New Jersey, which is Booker’s home state, and the state he currently represents as US Senator. The seriffed Dapifer is contrasted with Frere-Jones Type’s Conductor, a modulated sans which is used for display and headings.
